Highlander Collector's Edition 4K [Blu-ray] [2022] [Region A & B & C]

Product Information

From the opening scene, Mulcahy grabs you with a dynamic style that wrings potential from the daft plot. The rest of the cast are strong too; Roxanne Hart in particular has a touch of Sarah Connor about her character, even if ultimately she remains the archetype damsel in distress. Stalwarts such as Celia Imrie, James Cosmo and Beatie Edney (Purdie in Poldark) as the love of Connor’s life have small roles, but their presence lifts the material again. Highlander punches above it’s weight. STUDIOCANAL is thrilled to announce that the iconic cult classic, HIGHLANDER , will soon be available to own on 4K UHD for the very first time. The film will receive its home entertainment release via STUDIOCANAL in the UK, France, Australia and New Zealand.

This was my first visit into the world of Highlander and while I felt it’s one of those films that everyone has heard about, unless you grew up in a certain era, it was more doubtful whether you’ve seen it. I had a faint recollection of the movie through older siblings and so to mark the 30 th Anniversary of Russell Mulcahy‘s cult favourite, I entered the all-new 4k restoration for the Blu-ray and DVD release.

And Dennis has turned in his thoughts on Gordon Hessler’s The Oblong Box (1969), an American International Pictures film on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber Studio Classics. No Time to Die** ( US/ US Limited Edition Gift Set/ UK/ UK Limited Edition Gift Set) – 12/21/21 – REVIEW – N4K, DV, DA E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial: 40th Anniversary Edition* (Steelbook) (US Target exclusive) (US/UK) – 10/18/22 – N4K, X One of Highlander’s defining features is that it has always looked terrible. Even the Blu-ray was a muddy, murky affair. Therefore, the UHD transfer is a miracle. While in itself the presentation can be inconsistent, especially in a level of grain occasionally smoothing out, it still looks like a different, fresher film. The opening and subsequent scenes in the underground garage are sharp and full of detail in shadows. All the modern day sequences respond well to a 4K brush up, detail in faces and textures is enhanced beautifully. Effects shots have survived surprisingly well and actual sparks can be appreciated in the sword battles.Jurassic World: The Ultimate Collection (6 films – US Best Buy-exclusive Steelbook) (US/UK) – 10/31/23 – N4K, DA Cinderella** (1950) (Disney Movie Club exclusive with collectable lithograph) (US/UK) – 3/28/23 – REVIEW – N4K All Quiet on the Western Front (2022) ( US/ UK) – 3/28/23 (UK date 4/24 via Altitude Film Distribution) – N4K, DV, DA
